Chapter 35: A Chapter About Steel in Another World
Then.
He picked up another knife and slashed his arm again.
This time, there was no red mark, only a faint white mark, without even breaking the skin.
In other words, reaching the pinnacle of the Body Refinement Realm also made his skin's defenses stronger.
"Bullets definitely won't stop me, but if it's a knife, as long as it's not cutting back and forth in one spot, it shouldn't hurt me."
Bai Chen nodded in satisfaction.
to be frank.
With his current fighting prowess, if he were to participate in a boxing match, it would be a complete game-changer.
If he didn't have too many secrets and wasn't unsuitable for being in the spotlight, he might actually consider pursuing a career in boxing.
"As for money, there's no need to worry about it since we exchange resources between the two worlds. There's absolutely no need to expose ourselves to the spotlight."
Bai Chen shook his head.
Putting everything else aside, just getting some silver back would be enough.
It is worth mentioning that.
He considered other precious metals besides silver, such as gold.
Unfortunately, gold is an extremely precious commodity, even in the Martial Refinement Continent.
Even the money shops in Yong'an City basically didn't have gold reserves; only the money shops in the big cities had gold.
In the Martial Continent, gold is generally considered a high-end luxury item, and only high-ranking officials, nobles, and even royalty can afford such a high-end item.
Of course, that's beside the point.
Meanwhile, on Bai Chen's side...
Now that he had reached the pinnacle of the Flesh Refining Realm, he originally planned to immediately travel to the Martial Refining Continent.
But after thinking about it, it seems that the silver in the Martial Continent has been almost spent, so I need to bring some valuable things from modern society to sell for some silver.
We definitely need to bring some things like glass beads, glow-in-the-dark beads, and glass cups, but we can't have all of them.
It's not just because things are rare that they're valuable; it's more because having too many identical treasures on display is too eye-catching.
"We need to try something different this time."
Bai Chen pondered.
Besides.
He planned to bring Xuanqing Daoist some local specialties or gifts.
He hadn't experienced the power of martial artists before, but now that he understood just how extraordinary they were, he naturally wanted to cling to this powerful figure.
Putting aside everything else.
Before he transmigrated, he was in Yong'an City, when he was surrounded and beaten by constables from the yamen.
The constable, despite being shot more than a dozen times, still managed to run over and fight me to the death; he was just like the protagonist in a fantasy war drama.
If he hadn't shot me in the head a few times at the end, I probably would have been caught in close combat.
If this is the case for martial artists who have acquired their skills, then it goes without saying that it is even more true for those who have acquired their skills.
Bai Chen even suspected that even if he had a submachine gun, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Xuanqing Daoist.
"This time, let's get some materials from modern society, and we can also give some to Uncle-Master Xuanqing as a gift."
After a moment of contemplation.
Bai Chen decided to go to a hardware store to buy some materials from modern technology society to sell there.
...
A short while later.
The nearest hardware store to Fez Square.
After the boss's sales pitch...
Bai Chen bought two pieces of tungsten steel and three pieces of spring steel.
Tungsten steel is said to be an extremely hard metal, generally used as a cutting tool in machine tools; it's no exaggeration to say it can cut through iron like mud.
Spring steel is even more impressive, with both its toughness and hardness being ridiculously strong.
It is generally used for shock absorption in cars, trucks, and even armored vehicles, and can withstand millions of bends without deformation.
Each piece of metal weighs twenty jin (approximately 10 kg), totaling exactly one hundred jin (approximately 50 kg).
Bring the materials back to the rental house.
Close the door.
Bai Chen checked the submachine guns and grenades again to make sure nothing was missing.
He then silently uttered a word in his heart.
"Time travel!"
Bai Chen's body vanished instantly from the rented room.
.....
Martial Continent.
In the mountains and forests, a hundred miles outside Yong'an City.
In a secluded valley, a fine horse is tied to a tree with its reins.
Not far away.
Suddenly, a rock rolled down from a hidden cave entrance that was covered by rubble, and a young man dressed in training clothes with a bag slung over his shoulder walked out.
This young man was Bai Chen, who had transmigrated to the Martial Continent.
Bai Chen quickly walked to the horse's side.
Looking at the horse's condition and the sun in the sky, he could confirm that not much time had passed since he last traveled back to the Martial Refinement Continent.
Clearly, just as he had tested before, time on the Martial Continent would nearly stand still when he was on Earth.
While he was on the Martial Continent, time on Earth would almost stand still.
Bai Chen looked around at the route, then mounted his horse and galloped towards Qingyun Mountain.
"Whoa~"
The horse's body trembled slightly. Bai Chen's weight, along with the guns, bullets, grenades, and the hundred pounds of tungsten steel and spring steel, made it somewhat strained.
However, being a fine steed, it was able to run swiftly after a little adjustment.
...
Two hours later.
Having successfully traversed the dense forest, we arrived at the official road.
Bai Chen's expression was somewhat embarrassed, because he had actually gone in the wrong direction.
They were thinking of heading back to Qingyun Mountain, but ended up heading in the completely opposite direction.
What was originally a journey of only a few hours will now take until midnight to get back.
Bai Chen didn't want to travel at night, so he planned to find a place to stay before dark when he was on his way back.
.....
noon the next day.
In a small courtyard on the back of Qingyun Mountain.
Han Shuisheng stood in a horse stance, practicing his boxing routine meticulously.
next to.
A little girl rested her chin on her hands, occasionally scolding Han Shuisheng and then making him start punching again.
suddenly.
A sound of horses' hooves rang out.
"Master Bai!"
Han Shuisheng was overjoyed and immediately stopped punching to greet him.
Little Xia Miaomiao, her eyes shining, ran over and called out in a clear voice:
"Junior Brother Bai Chen, I came to visit you yesterday, but Shui Sheng said you weren't here."
"hehe!"
Bai Chen chuckled, put down the things he had brought, and greeted Xia Miaomiao, "It's Senior Sister Miaomiao."
After placing all 100 jin of goods properly, he turned to Han Shuisheng and instructed him:
"Shuisheng, go prepare some hot water, I need to wash up."
After traveling for two days, I was covered in dust.
"Good job, Master Bai!" Han Shuisheng ran off happily.
After Han Shuisheng left.
Bai Chen asked with a smile, "Senior Sister Miao Miao, I thought Shui Sheng was practicing horse stance just now, what happened?"
"Hehe, I came looking for you but couldn't find you, so I taught him martial arts to pass the time~"
Xia Miaomiao tilted her head and said with a grin.
"Uh, I see. So how's your aquatic studies going?" Bai Chen touched his nose and asked casually.
"He's not very good, he's incredibly stupid." Xia Miaomiao shook her head in distress.
.....
After washing up, Bai Chen felt completely relaxed.
He first sent Xia Miaomiao away, and then, carrying two pieces of tungsten steel and three pieces of spring steel, he headed towards the front hall of Qingyun Mountain.
He wanted to ask Daoist Xuanqing how much these things were worth.
